About this listen

Short-listed, Crimefest Specsavers Crime Fiction Debut Award, 2022

A thrilling debut novel of corruption and murder, set in the nightclubs, tenements and skyscrapers of 1930s New York—from the winner of the Virago/The Pool New Crime Writer Award.

At the top of the Empire State Building on a freezing December night, two women hold their breath. Frances and Agnes are waiting for the man who has wronged them. They plan to seek the ultimate revenge.

Set over the course of a single night, One Night, New York is a detective story, a romance and a coming-of-age tale. It is also a story of old New York, of bohemian Greenwich Village between the wars, of floozies and artists and addicts, of a city that sucked in creatives and immigrants alike, lighting up the world, while all around America burned amid the heat of the Great Depression.

Critic reviews

"An atmospheric portrait of a city in the grip of the Great Depression as well as a compelling crime story." (Guardian)

"Thompson's impressive debut delivers a beautifully detailed and multifaceted account of Jazz Age New York." (Irish Times)

"An assured debut so evocative you can almost smell the bathtub gin wafting off the pages." (Red Magazine)

This has to be one of the worst books I’ve ever come across. I started reading it, gave up half way and listened to the audiobook on 2x speed, simply to get through it. The audiobook helped decipher each character as the book isn’t clear. Nothing really happens in the first half, it goes on and on describing nothing. The characters are boring and their relationships are odd, I wasn’t at all invested in them or the story. It picked up towards the end, but still the story was not at all compelling. The reasons for their actions were dull and the climax happened over a number of weeks, not a night, so the blurb is misleading. Avoid, it was a total waste of time.

Will it ever end?
